Andrus,
Your code as I remember was some wizard code very hard to follow.
Why would you try to go recno() you're already on. Possibly in your code there is something causing a commit and making recno() positive (row buffered and rec pointer move causing implicit update ?). If -1 is nonexistant then all is committed. Try :
go reccount('mitteakt') in 'mitteakt'

Also possibly locate for recno()=-1 is actually failing and going to eof(). Grid gets you back to last record.
